To put it simply, Martin Truex Jr. has been on rails this season. Heading into this weekend, the Mayetta, NJ native had accumulated five wins and led over 1,800 laps. The Furniture Row Racing team has seemed invincible, bringing un-paralled speed to each track on the circuit. But for a majority of the weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Truex and his FRR team seemed to struggle. The No.78 was seventh in the weekend’s only practice session, but the car didn’t seem to have it’s normal speed. In Friday evening’s qualifying session, Truex failed to make it to the final round of qualifying for only the second time in the last 12 events.
